CUMBERLAND VALLEY AT CHAMBERSBURG
Game data: The Eagles travel down I-81 for a Mid Penn Commonwealth game against the Trojans at Trojan Stadium, 7 p.m. … It is the annual Chambersburg Athletic Hall of Fame game, with the newest inductees honored at halftime of the football game … Live stream on MidPennBroadcasting.com.
Last week: Cumberland Valley (1-2, 1-1 MPC) fell 28-7 to Harrisburg … Chambersburg (0-3, 0-2 MPC) lost a tough one to Cedar Cliff, 21-20.
The oppponent: CV’s lone win was over Carlisle, 35-7 … The Eagles hung close to Harrisburg last week, helped by numerous Cougar penalties … QB Colton Stamy is a dual threat, passing for 345 yards (32-for-47), with 1 TD and 1 pick … Jaydin Holmes (28-114) and Angel Young (28-106) are the leading ball carriers and Torin Lang (15-153) is the leading receiver … Cole Hockenberry leads the Eagles defense with 21 tackles … Trojan coach Gary Carter said, “CV is always disciplined and sound; they’re 1-2, but they are a good team. The quarterback is a good scrambler, Holmes is a good back and the offensive line is good. Their defense is their usual 4-4, and they do what they do.”
Coach’s view: “We told the kids that we are 0-3, but we should be 2-1. It’s just little mistakes we’re making that are making the difference. This week, we have to minimize those mistakes, win the turnover battle (Chambersburg’s defense has no turnovers yet) and do better in the red zone — our percentage of scoring in that area is not good.”
Unsung: Carter said, “Lucas Ocker keeps finding ways to get it done as a receiver. He and Jashaun Palmer, and the receivers in general, kept us in the game last week.”
Statistics: Trojan leaders: Passing — Cam Green 34-for-61 (58.7%), 532 yards, 4 TDs, 2 int. … Rushing — Malachi Tasker 40-125,1 TD … Receiving — Jashaun Palmer 13-295, 1 TD; Lucas Ocker 5-172, 3 TDs; Seth Gilliam 6-38, 1 TD; Bryce Deneen 5-33 … Tackles — Deakon Snavely 28, 3 tackles for loss; Devon Nalewak 25; Gilliam 23; Colton Horst 22 … Note: Chambersburg will welcome back several players burdened with injuries — LB Mason Mowen, RB/LB Ashton Allen, WR/DB Nate Chambers and TE/LB Cam Wadel.
SUSQUEHANNA TOWNSHIP AT GREENCASTLE-ANTRIM
Game data: The Indians will be the Blue Devils’ opponent in a Mid Penn Colonial game on Friday night at 7 p.m. at Kaley Field … Live stream on MidPennBroadcasting.com.
Last week: Susquehanna Twp. (1-2) pinned a 23-7 defeat on Hollidaysburg … Greencastle (2-1) took a 28-6 win over James Buchanan.
The opponent: The Indians lost quite a few of their top players from last year to graduation, but still have plenty of talent … They lost their first two games to Twin Valley and West York … G-A coach Jason Thurston said, “They are a good team with a lot of size on the line. They have a new quarterback who is more of a pocket passer, and he’s got a good arm and lots of weapons to throw to.”
Coach’s view: Thurston said, “I think we are a little more prepared for this game than we were last year; it’s a better matchup. It’s going to take us playing all four quarters well, something we haven’t done yet. On film, we see that (ST) makes some mistakes, so we just have to make fewer.”
Unsung: TE/DE Zachary Russell had a nice last week … He caught a pass for a 2-point conversion on a fake kick and was credited with 2 sacks on defense … Thurston said, “We saw on film that JB really crashed on extra points, so we worked on that play and were able to make it work. On defense, he and some other guys seemed like they were always in JB’s backfield. Zach’s a great kid who is always ready to go.”
Blue Devil statistics: Passing — Gavin Logsdon 12-for-28, 238 yards, 3 TDs, no int. … Rushing — Spencer Long 26-222, 2 TDs; Landon Kagarise 23-88, 3 TDs … Receiving — Wyatt Long 3-107, 2 TDs; Long 2-89, 1 TD … Tackles — Elijah Ambrose 16; Braden Eckert 16; Luke Hull 15 (3 tackles for loss); Ethan South 15.
